Yo,
Your fuel psi is too low.
87-89; Fuel Injected Engines - "...Two electric pumps are used on fuel injected models; a low pressure boost pump mounted in the fuel tank and a high pressure pump mounted on the vehicle frame. The low pressure pump is used to provide pressurized fuel to the inlet of the high pressure pump and helps prevent noise and heating problems. The externally mounted high pressure pump is capable of supplying 15.9 gallons of fuel an hour. System pressure is controlled by a fuel pressure regulator (FPR) mounted on the engine..."
Pull the FPR's vacuum line off, there SHOULDN'T be ang gas or gas aroma in it.
FPR circled in;

someone drilled out the tank and stole the gas. I patched it up with some techsteel and it finally just started to leak so it's time to replace the tank. While I have it down though I'm wondering what the odds of the low pressure fuel pump failing are? Test Diagram at the Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC); connect DLC to any ground to force the fuel pump) on when the key is in RUN...
MIESK5 NOTE; from Ford EVTM; The PCM runs the pump{s} for one second when it receives an ignition-on signal. It also runs the pumps as long as it receives a PIP signal from the Hall-effect devices, it continues pump operation even after the key is released from START. If the PIP signals fall below 120RPM, the PCM cuts off the signal to the fuel pump relay. PCM signals the pump when it receives a CRANK signal, and when the PCM gets PIP signals that the engine is running. the pump does not run if the PIP indicates the engine is not running even with ignition ON {except for that first one second}.
Key ON Engine Running: 5.0L is 30-45 psi
Key ON Engine OFF: 5.0L is 35-45 psi
Maximum fuel pressure is obtainable at WOT or the vacuum hose removed from the fuel pressure regulator.
If fuel lines/systems have been drained or evacuated, it may take up to 15 seconds to obtain the pressure specified.
For low pressure pump diagnosis :
-attach test lead to FP lead on VP test connector. Make sure test lead is long enough to reach work area under vehicle
-Turn key to RUN position
-Raise vehicle on hoist and bring test lead to a convenient point for grounding
-Ground test lead and listen at fuel tank for low pressure pump operation. (it may help to disconnect high pressure pump electrical connections)
-Is pump running? If yes read C1, if no read C2
C1
Remove ground from test lead
-Disconnect pressure line from pump at reservoir inlet fitting
-obtain a 1 quart or more container
-place fuel line is reservoir and operate pump for 5 seconds
-Is fuel level at least 6 ounces?
If yes then the pump is good.
If no then attmpt to restrict lines to build up pressure and also check for line blockage,
C2
-If no check all electrical locations related to fuel pumps (they are on same circuit
-Make sure HP pump is running
-any electrical problem found?
-If no then replace pump
On top of this, run a long the jumper wire straight from the battery to the fuel pump(s). use correct wire awg.
Single-Function Fuel Reservoir in 89; "...The PN for the filter is given, but you shouldn't actually have a filter in there. It should be an external inline filter further up the frame rail - you only buy the reservoir filter to get the O-ring, and only then if you have some reason to open the reservoir bowl. Unless you're having fuel delivery problems that you've isolated to the reservoir, you should never open it..." Miesk5 NOTE; be wary of fire!
Single-Function Reservoir in 89 . The single-function reservoir (SFR) is used on vehicles with ONE gas tank, like Broncos, vans, & low-trim pickups. The reservoir is always inside the L frame rail beneath the driver's floorpan about 10" behind the frame fuel pump. The 10mm bolt heads are easy to access on the outer face of the frame rail, but some vehicles have a large heat shield that must also be removed...There's not much to the SFR (which is what ALL Broncos of those years have): the '88 version just has the cup & 1 check valve (earlier versions have 2), but it's almost foolproof.
Single-Function Reservoir Overview, Location & O Ring Installation in an 86; "Mine is under the T-Case skid plate on the drivers frame rail, it's black plastic with a ***** style thread top & bottom which uses an O ring and a hockey puck style filter with a hole on one side, hole side goes up to the ****** inside the cap, both about $9.00 at any autochain. The "O" ring doesn't want to cooperate when putting it in place so use something tacky to keep it in place when you go to thread it back on otherwise you'll squish it and it will **** gas all over, also the bottom part needs to be threaded all the up without any gap at the top also will **** gas if incorrect. used a small model paint brush almost DRY with Permatex for the inside "O" ring track just to get it to set up to keep the "O" ring in place when screwing it back together and it worked fine, the amount of Permatex was insignificant with no potenial to impead anything, but use what ever you like. IIRC the Reservoir was designed to keep the fuel pumps supplied from starving when the vehicle is at different positions, cornering, off road driving etc..."

Single-Function Reservoir Testing in 88-89; "...Used on '88-89 Broncos & F-series/E-series/Rangers/others with single tank dual-pump EFI. In this version, the only moving part is the tank-side inlet check valve. The return ports flow freely and are NOT connected to the reservoir. The engine-side supply port is open to the reservoir.
To test it, unplug the frame fuel pump, disconnect the engine-side supply (large) line, and cycle the key. If fuel flows out of the reservoir ******, the reservoir is working normally. If not, disconnect the tank-side supply (large) line, and cycle the key. If fuel flows out of the line, the reservoir check valve is probably stuck, or its internal filter is clogged. A reservoir marked "DO NOT REMOVE CUP" does not contain a filter. For a replacement O-ring for the cup, buy a NAPA 3268 (or equivalent) filter..."

DTC 34 - EGR voltage above closed limit - Failed sensor, carbon between EGR pintle valve and seat holding the valve off its seat. Remove the EGR valve and clean it with carbon remover. Prior to re-installing see if you can blow air through the ****** side of the EGR by mouth. the egr is not closing properly which can cause detonation. remove the egr and clean off any carbon built up on it with carb cleaner and a brush if necessary.
